Huang Han paid special attention to the development and education of firearms units and adopted a policy of inclination, so Song Pengfei's contingent was relatively large, and now it is close to 300 people.

Among them, there are a full 112 people who are serious 800 bird gunners and spear bearers, and how the combat effectiveness will be reflected in the next attack and defense battle of Yongping Mansion City.

In the future, the "Red Banner Army" will obviously not have many opportunities to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty and continue to recruit skilled cavalry with bows and horses, after all, there will be no war in the pass, and there will not be too many Ming troops scattered.

Huang Han naturally has no reason to start fishing for people, and he can't go to other battalions to dig the foot of the wall in a grand manner, wouldn't that be a mess? The imperial court will not agree.

Training firearms units that are easy to use will be the mainstream direction of the development of the "Red Banner Army" in the future.

Iron armor was too expensive, and the number was not enough to equip all the soldiers, so the firearms units did not wear armor, and the soldiers were only equipped with fine iron helmets, and wore mandarin duck jackets or cotton armor.

Firearms units are not capable of protecting themselves, so they must avoid hand-to-hand combat with the enemy as much as possible, long-range strikes are particularly important, and guarding against enemy troops breaking through the military formation is also the most important thing.

A wheelbarrow with a three-gun head at the front can indeed prevent the enemy cavalry from charging into formation.

It was inexpensive and easy to carry, and a group of bird-cuffers had a wheelbarrow to lighten their loads, which could be loaded with food, tents, gunpowder, and buckshot.

In normal times, when pushing a wheelbarrow forward, it will not be installed with a white wax rod spear that is one foot or two feet long, and it will only be installed in place when it is in formation to meet the enemy.

The wheelbarrow has a ready-made card slot, one end of the gun head points diagonally forward, the height is about 4 feet 5 inches above the ground, and the tail end is close to the ground to improve stability, and the installation time can be completed in less than a minute.

The firearms unit is infantry, and the most afraid of a cavalry surprise attack is not how powerful the cavalry is, but because they have the advantage of speed and powerful impact, and can even directly knock the infantry to death.

As long as the speed of the cavalry can be slowed down and the cavalry can be prevented from rushing into the formation of the firearms troops, under the alternating blows of bird guns and spears, the cavalry who are trying to break the formation will be beaten to the point of crying father and mother.

The "Red Banner Army" has moved to Kaiping Town, and more than 3,000 ordinary people no longer have to follow the army to wander around, and they are about to settle down in Kaiping Town.

Some of these people are from small families who work with the army, and some are women and children who are determined to follow the "Red Banner Army," and they will all get jobs, and one or two thousand ordinary people hiding in shelters will soon arrive.

Now, in order to prevent the Houjin army from coming to burn, kill, loot, and temporarily stop large-scale production, the work of more than 3,000 people is to repair the town, control the dirty and messy situation in the town, and make Kaiping Town a rich and clean model city.

The cities of the Ming Dynasty are relatively dirty, in fact, there are few clean cities in the world in this era, and the cities in Europe are even more dirty and messy.

Huang Han knew that the epidemic in the late Ming Dynasty in history led to a decline in national strength, so how could he prevent the epidemic? The only way to improve the health level of the people is to improve the level of hygiene.

It is the most convenient and feasible way to keep the city clean and hygienic, timely fill garbage and manure pits not allowed in the open air, have clean water sources, and advocate the people to develop the habit of drinking warm boiled water.

If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? How can a town be governed if it is not well governed? Huang Han is ready to start from managing a town with a modern model, summing up experience, and then reaching the management of a county, a government, and even a province and a country.

The clan forces in Kaiping Town will not hinder Huang Han's management, because most of the big clans will go to Hazelnut Town to live according to the agreement, and they still have the shortcomings of admitting that after surrendering, Jin's shortcomings are in the hands of the "Red Flag Army", and they will not easily and dare not offend Huang Yizhou's father and son.

It's not that Huang Han doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and he easily let go of those scholars and scholars who had surrendered to the Jin Army.

Instead, as an up-and-coming general, if he openly killed the mainstream class of the Ming Dynasty and looted his family, he would cause unnecessary trouble for no reason, so in the case of fledgling, he adopted the principle of taking a step back and opening the sky to avoid making too many enemies.

After blackmailing many noble families to get development funds, there will be fewer obstacles in doing things after holding their handles, which is more civilized than killing the lines, and also maximizes the benefits.

The dominance of the Ming Dynasty was too poor, which led to the local government ignoring the country and valuing the countryside, having the courage to fight privately, and being timid in public war.

Clans may fight for water, but when foreign enemies come, they are asked to send people to join the army, and money and food to support the public war, but the patriarchs ignore it.

Huang Handa can let go of his hands and feet to manage Kaiping Town with the system of armor protection and joint defense, and it will no longer be the clan forces controlling the township, but the responsibility system at all levels.

The most basic managers are the chief of security, the chief of the first and the chief of the li, which is equivalent to the village, production team, and villager group of later generations, and is also equivalent to the neighborhood committee and community.

Break the status quo that the Ming Dynasty's decree can only reach the county level, let the grassroots people have the right to speak, and then build a propaganda team, so that the people who get benefits can understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and let everyone work together to defend the hard-won stable life.

It is believed that in the near future, an efficient political bloc will be born.

Taking Yongping Mansion and rescuing the people under Amin's butcher's knife as much as possible is Huang Han's stated goal.

At this time, it is necessary to make material preparations for the battle, and it is necessary to build ladders and breaking cones.

Huang Han knew that once the Ming army reacted and attacked, Amin would definitely abandon the city and flee, and in history, the Ming army had just prepared for the attack and Amin ran away.

Therefore, there was no need to prepare too many siege equipment, and hundreds of people worked together, and thirty ladders and two city-breaking cones were completed in only one day.

The infantry of the "Red Banner Army" now uses these equipment for drills, using the city walls of Kaiping Town to train ladders to climb and break the city cone to quickly approach the city gate to complete the impact.

In order to increase the mobility of the "Red Banner Army", Huang Han planned to invest 400 carriages to transport infantry and siege equipment, and all war horses and horses had to be used.

If we can buy time, we will be able to save thousands of Han people, and all the "Red Banner Army" must do their best, and once the war starts, they will still launch an attack.

The "Red Banner Army", which has been undergoing nationalist education almost every day, is full of fighting spirit, and they will not look forward and backward like the Ming army in history, and it is impossible for Amin to have enough time to slaughter the city and retreat calmly.

As long as Huang Han and his men and horses go to the battlefield, they must attack and advance as quickly as possible, and they will not hesitate to collide with Amin's men and horses and cause casualties.

Because if Amin chooses to fight the "Red Banner Army", it means that he has no time to slaughter the city, how many Han lives will be saved? Who else is I for such a meritorious feat?

The efficiency of the Ming army was really low, and Sun Chengzong, who was under the command of Funing, did not launch a campaign to recover the four cities until the end of April, supposedly waiting for the Hongyi artillery to be deployed.
